Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé

Born in Malaysia and raised in Singapore, Desmond Kon Zhicheng-Mingdé‘s work in lifestyle and developmental journalism has taken him to Australia, Cambodia, France, Hong Kong and Spain, where he’s written hundreds of stories about everyone but himself. Desmond views almost everything – names of places included – as quasi-metaphorical. Life has become much harder thinking that way. His recent work can be found in Agni, Gulf Coast, Harpur Palate, Seneca Review and Sonora Review.
